I made some comments below in a thread about losing Fujita, Vilma, and even Shanle speculating that we lack a field general QB on defense. Last night against the Cowboys there were moments when I saw lack of communication between defensive players and it hurt. In fact, our defense has lacked communication since Fujita left.

Scott Fujita and Jonathan Vilma were a potent forced when paired together...

'Do your job' ... 'Do your job' ... it's a simple theory really, and when you think about it, a brilliant piece of absentia-coaching by Sean Payton that just lets you know everything is going to be alright.

I've been seeing this headline bandied about and I've been thinking. I remember when the Lions signed Joique Bell off New Orleans practice squad. Detroit had just clinched a WildCard and I had begun hanging around the Black&Gold. Emotions were high, everyone in the "D" had been hoping for New York, but not me ... I wanted the Saints ... and yeah, in retrospect, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

With fans hurting a bit after the loss to San Francisco, KFC wants to spice things up for all fans that suffered through a “fowl” end to their season. All they need to do is follow @kfc_colonel and tweet a picture that conveys how things their season went “a fowl” – using the hash tag #KFCWingman. All eligible pictures will receive a $5 KFC gift check which can be used to purchase KFC Hot Wings for watch parties.

I know what you're thinking, WTH is a Lions fan doing blogging on a Saints forum about the Forty-Niners? Well, let me tell you . . . being from the Motor City, I'm opinionated, never at a loss for words and in the unique postion of having been beaten by both New Orleans and San Francisco . . . so, without further ado, I would like to thank my hosts at Black and Gold for giving me the opportunity to write this blog and finally realize a lifelong dream of being a 'beat writer', lol.
